Chapter 116: The villain visits
Since the separation of Puyang, Li Su obeyed Zhou Yang's wishes and moved his wife and children to Xiangyang.
It was indeed a good place to avoid war and settle down. Jingzhou Governor Liu Biao advocated that the people live and work in peace and contentment, and he was unwilling to participate in various warlord wars and political struggles, and he only hoped to spend his old age on the basis of keeping his territory.
However, when Li Su heard the news of Cao Cao's murder in Wancheng, he thought about whether Zhou Yang was also unfortunate, and did not want to implicate his family, so he ran to Xudu alone.
After inquiring, I realized that everything is still fine.
"At that time, Mr. Zhou, you ran to Puyang and ran over," he said with deep affection, "I thought that if I could continue to follow Mr. Zhou, it would be a great blessing for a villain!"
"Okay, Li Su, but I've told you a long time ago that the officialdom is not a place where you can do it. It's better to be an ordinary citizen." Zhou Yangsai said, "When Cao Gong unified the north and went south to seize Jingzhou in the future, you can also avoid war."
Having said that, when I think of the deadlock in front of me, I feel like I have been exaggerating.
Zhou Yang sighed and said, "Go back to Xiangyang, don't mess with this mess."
Li Su said, "Master Zhou really looks down on villains. If it were before, villains were villains, but now I know that Master Zhou and Cao were suppressed by Yuan Jun from the north, so I will give you a generous gift!"
Zhou Yang said in surprise: "Good gift?"
Li Sudong looked around and said sneakily: "A generous gift that can break this deadlock and defeat Yuan Jun in one fell swoop!"
Zhou Yang was shocked and thought to himself that the generous gift this guy said was the information related to Wuchao?
However, it should be that Yuan Shao's internal discord, which led to a traitor named Xu You. It was not yours, Li Su, but he was curious to continue talking.
"But Master Zhou has to agree to the villain in advance, otherwise he will not dare to tell him if the villain dies." Li Su said.
"As long as I have the ability to do it."
"Okay, if this generous gift from the villain can help Cao Gong and Master Zhou defeat Yuan Shao," Li Su smiled, "Don't let the villain continue to follow Master Zhou in the future, but the villain will never involve politics or any official position."
"No problem, tell me!" Zhou Yang agreed.
"This time, it will be the last time the villain betrays his friend in this life, so please keep the secret for the villain." Li Su said.
"Is the friend you mentioned is Xu You?" Zhou Yang saw a strange light flashing in his eyes after guessing, knowing that he could hit it as soon as he guessed.
It is indeed related to Xu You. If it comes to provide Wuchao information, then this is indeed a considerable gift.
At present, the Cao and Yuan families are in a confrontation. No matter how anxious Yuan Shao is, it is at most an internal dispute, but Cao Cao is facing a catastrophe.
According to Li Su's information, there was indeed a small division within Yuan Shao, but it did not affect the overall situation.
The other party was divided into factions in terms of strategy, which was already arisen when Yan Liang led his troops to attack the White Horse.
One faction is dominated by Tian Feng and Ju Su. They proposed to stick to their strategies, suppress the army on Guandu, and then devote more energy to the rear farmland, believing that if they persist, the enemy will collapse without fighting.
Zhou Yang was frightened when he heard this. These two guys really hit Cao Jun's point.
Another faction is based on the quick battle and decision advocated by Guo Tu, Shen Pei and others. They believe that the morale of the Cao army is currently low and has reached the end of the country. If the entire army can attack Guandu, they will inevitably take Xu Du and welcome Emperor Xian.
Although the outcome of this plan is not yet known, if you successfully defeat Cao Cao, you will be able to directly have Cao Cao's previous territory and political advantages without being taken advantage of by other princes.
However, Cao Cao was able to use troops, but the reality was difficult to measure. The counselor Liu Ye even created catapults, barriers, etc. for this purpose. It was not easy for Guandu to conquer it.
"Continue talking." Zhou Yang waved his hand and signaled to Li Su but said it was okay.
Li Su took a sip of water and asked himself to relax as much as possible. It seemed that what he wanted to say next was the real point.
It turned out that Tian Feng and Ju Su were in charge of the military, and had the support of the military heads led by Zhang He and Gao Lan. However, Guo Tu and Shen Pei were behind the scenes, Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang.
With the absolute advantage of the north, these three young newborn calves supported the plan to eliminate Cao Cao in one fell swoop. Their passion has been boiling for a long time.
If you can't fight Cao Cao on the battlefield with real swords and guns, you will be ashamed of the brave name as a northern man.
The two factions were in a row, and Yuan Shao had to ask for advice from another strategist Xu You, who was standing in the neutral plaza.
Xu You supported Tian Feng in his heart, and Ju Su's lords were the ones who could avoid war, and the other hand, this was indeed a plan he recognized, but he did not dare to say it like this.
Because he was unwilling to offend Yuan Shao's three sons, he was so sensible.
When Yuan Shao heard this, he scolded him angrily, and then he told what he thought was true.
The result was dissatisfied by Guo Tu, Shen Pei and others, and threatened Xu You to change his words and support them on the other side.
Xu You was forced to agree and took the initiative to find Yuan Shao again and said the main attacker was the king. Yuan Shao asked the reason for this, but he could only talk nonsense.
This offended Tian Feng again, and the people on Ju Shu and others, Zhang He and Gao Lan even came to him indignation, and even thought that they might as well kill the treacherous minister to avoid damaging the morale of the army.
Xu You had been forced to be so bad that he was too scared. He was even more obedient when he was scared.
Just when he was in a dilemma, Li Su appeared.
"Why did you suddenly appear?" Zhou Yang interrupted.
"Xu You is a classmate of the villain!" Li Su was also wondering why he couldn't appear. He was stunned and said, "We used to be disciples of Mr. Sima Hui, a hermit in Nanyang."
"You guy is actually Sima Hui's disciple?" Zhou Yang was even more dumbfounded.
Because according to the historical materials he knew, Sima Hui, the Nanyang hermit who was known as "Mr. Water Mirror", was the army of Zhuge Liang who would be famous all over the world in the future, and also the army of Pang Tong, who was also known as the Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chu.
Unexpectedly, it was also Xu You and Li Su's teachers, both Sima Hui's students, and there was such an amazing difference.
Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong later made indelible and great contributions to Liu Bei. The former was a famous politician, inventor, writer and military strategist in history.
However, compared to Li Su and Xu You, these two people with similar stinking are indeed of virtue. No wonder they can come together to become friends. The so-called "those who are close to vermilion are red, and those who are close to ink are black" is indeed very appropriate to use these two groups of people.
However, what Cao Cao needs at present is not politicians, inventors, writers and military strategists, but villains like Li Su and Xu You.
"If Master Zhou trusts the villain, the villain will bring Xu You to see you, what if he wants to?" Li Su saw that he was in deep thought, so he asked with a try.
"See! Why don't you see me?" Zhou Yang turned his face and looked at the little person, feeling only funny in his heart.
Cao Cao was such a traitor in troubled times. His subordinates were Xiahou Yuan, Yu Jin, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, and his advisers such as Guo Jia, Xun You, Cheng Yu, as well as Zhou Yang's civil servants and military generals in Luoyang, as well as various well-trained elite soldiers, and many powerful weapons for siege and defense created by Liu Ye, after such a long period of confrontation, he faced a situation of impending destruction.
Now, a small Li Su and a seller protector Xu You have reversed Yuan Shao's absolute advantage.
Zhou Yang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, sometimes villains are more useful than these people!
After Li Su returned, Zhou Yang immediately ran to find Cao Cao and told him about the content of the meeting tonight.
After hearing this, Cao Cao looked thoughtful, and his eyes flashed with joy and sorrow.
Zhou Yang thought he could not trust Li Su and Xu You, and advised: "Wuchao is definitely the key point for our victory. Before, just because he did not understand the internal information of the enemy, Xu You is now Yuan Shao's core adviser and knows the deployment of this battle very well..."
Before he could speak, Cao Cao interrupted, "This is not what I worry about."
Zhou Yangqi said: "Does my father-in-law have any other ideas?"
Cao Cao said: "What I am afraid of is that Xu You and your friend, they may not be able to leave Yuan Shao's military camp!"
Zhou Yang was shocked and said, "It's impossible!"
Cao Cao shook his head and said, "With my understanding of Yuan Shao, it is impossible for an irrelevant person to know about grain storage as important as Wuchao."
Zhou Yang said: "Xu You is a counselor under Yuan Shao's tent. How could he be an irrelevant person?"
"Xu You is naturally credible. As a strategist, he naturally understands Yuan Jun's various deployment information," Cao Cao said again. "The question is where is such an important person, where is his family, his wife, children, and young people?"
"Yecheng?" Zhou Yang said suddenly.
"It's Yecheng!" Cao Cao continued, "Even if Xu You can quietly escape from Yuan Shao's military camp and provide us with internal information about Wuchao, what should his family do? Whether he stays or returns is a headache for him."
"What should I do?" Zhou Yang sat down softly.
"There is only one way to make Xu You safely leave Yuan Shao's military camp." Cao Cao's eyes cold and he said coldly, "and no worries."
No matter how stupid Zhou Yang was, he could understand the meaning of this sentence, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Only by helping Yuan Shao break Xu You's thoughts can he come to Cao's camp without hesitation. This vicious plan to kill people with a knife is indeed in line with Cao Cao's usual style.
But the situation in front of him is either victory or destruction, so how can he let Zhou Yang think about it?
Anyway, I have done everything I can and said everything I should know.
What kind of conspiracy and strength to dispel public opinion in the end depends entirely on Cao Cao.
Actually, think about it, what is the difference between myself and Li Su?
His friend betrayed his lord, he betrayed his friend, and he also betrayed Li Su, while Cao Cao used this to betray Zhou Yang, and finally achieved his goal, unify Hebei and even the world. What is all this?
